Happy Results
We started our German Shepherd Dog on these about one month ago. He loves them and we love how much more comfortable he seems. No more grunting when he lays down on the floor or jumps off the bed. He has learned very quickly to come into the kitchen for his "treat" when I announce "what has your name on it?" I didn't give it 5 stars only because his poop is not quite what it was prior to starting these. No diarrhea or anything, but just not the same (sorry, trying not to be graphic here!) and we are aware some joint supplements can do that and this isn't nearly as bad as another supplement we tried from other online shopping. Overall, Wolfgang and I recommend these to keep your senior dog happy and comfortable!

Have seen improvement !!
I'm on my second bottle for our 14-year-old Golden Retriever. He is starting to have mobility issues and we saw an improvement after the first order. He LOVES them and runs to the kitchen when he knows it's time for a vitamin.

Loves the taste ...
Too soon to tell the physical effect it will have on my 9 yo corgi. Definitely much cheaper than at the vet. He has no significant issues for my purchasing this product; just wanting to give due to his age.

She thinks it’s a treat
My older German Shepherd looks forward to her soft chew, she thinks it’s a treat! This is wonderful as she has turned away from other joint supplements. There has been improved movement as she now likes to run and play with my young Sheltie.

No noticeable improvement
I have senior Golden Retriever who is beginning to have difficulty getting around a bit. I was really hoping these would help her but to be totally honest I do not notice any improvement. She is still stiff getting up and has a little trouble with stairs. If only they could talk and tell us if they feel better. I was definitely hoping for some better relief for her pain.

Keeps My Senior Going Strong
My dog is a 50 lb Shepherd mix, so keeping her joints healthy is a top priority for me. She's also 12 years old, so I try to do everything I can to keep her comfortable, including giving her this supplement. She loves the soft chews and thinks they are treats, even though she is a very picky eater. It has an excellent combination of both traditional joint ingredients like glucosamine along with more unique antioxidants like turmeric and resveratrol. Despite her age, my dog is still very active and loves to go for walks and especially hikes. Giving her these chews daily is a simple way to help ease any discomfort associated with this exercise and aging. Everyone is always surprised to find out her age! I highly recommend this supplement for any older dog, to keep your canine companion feeling his or her best.

Smart Canine, Joint Senior chews
I bought this about a month ago, and can't tell about the results yet, but my dog likes it, which is more than I can say for other brands.

Great supplement
Just started both of my black labs on the SmartPak Canine Joint Senior Soft Chews. My labs are 10 years old and 8 years old. They did not technically have any joint issues, but I noticed that they seemed to be getting a little "slower" and my 10 year old lab would take some stiff steps once in a while. Its been 2 months and the supplements are making a difference. My 10 year old lab has not taken a stiff step since starting the supplements and they seem to be even running more through the yard.

Great ingredients
Got this for a ten year old rescue who was limping. After a few weeks she has no limp and is active and running. She thinks the supplement is a treat and loves the taste

Literally a miracle supplement
My 13 + year old large black lab could barely go out for a short walk. After only 2 weeks on this joint supplement (which he thinks is a treat) he was back to his long walks through the woods that he has not been able to do in over a year. I know we may need to more to a prescription pain reliever at some point but this joint supplement is definitely buying us some time and he is as happy as ever!

Great product
Absolutely love Smartpak. My two horses are on vitamins and I just recently put my 12 year old German Shepherd on them. He’s started having hip issues and we were worried about him. He’s moving around so much better and when you consider the quality of the product bs the the price Smartpak can’t be beat. Thank you so much for helping my old man get his groove back

My dog of nearly 14 years is acting like a puppy!
I called and asked if you had something that we humans could get on to be as energetic and youthful as Faith has become. Once again SmartPak has delivered as they said they would. The rep had said it would take around 2 weeks to start seeing results and see I did! It"s like the clock got turned back on her. She has arthritis through her spine especially in the hips according to an X-ray. She had been stiff since last winter. Not now! She is a shining example of a Belgium Malinois again. So she is now on auto ship. Thank you SmartPak and do not forget to get the word out on HRbill 961 for the equine safe act! End the slaughtering. My current war pony was already loaded on a Mexico bound truck when HPHS bought her off. I am sharing with others the SmartCanine Joint chews. Happy dogs..

Dog wouldn't eat it
I can't really tell if it works because my dog won't eat it. And since it's designed as a chew, it's kind of big to stuff into a slice of cheese or hotdog like a pill. She's not particularly picky and would eat the Cosequin chewables that I got her previously. She's also not a super greedy eater. I would recommend this for someone with a dog who eats anything.

Made my dogs sick
I gave this to my 2 Dalmatians, one a 10 y/o the other a 12 y/o. Neither of my dogs are picky eaters and they never go off their food. The 12 y/o went off her food and had an upset stomach. It took a couple days of rice and chicken to get her back interested in food again. It took longer than the 12 y/o, but now the 10 y/o is off her food and is on a chicken and rice diet to get her back on track. I tried introducing the joint supplement to the 12 year old again but stopped when it appeared that it indeed was causing the problem. They never refused to eat the supplement, but it makes them sick to the point of not wanting to eat at all. I would like to add that while both dogs are around 45 lbs. I only gave the older one 1 tablet because she has glucosamine in her dry food. The younger one I gave 2 tablets because she does not have any joint support in her food.

Gave my golden retriever diarrhea
This supplement gave my 7 year golden retriever diarrhea. I tried giving it to her with her meal and after her meal to see if it would make a difference, but it just made her diarrhea worse.

it helps
My bassett/ blue tick hound is 14 now. She had been going upstairs one paw at a time and having trouble even then. She has been on Joint senior for a month, two a day for her 40 lbs. She now goes up stairs with very little trouble and quickly, the other night she hopped up the stairs with both front feet at a time. I believe that this supplement is doing a great job at making her move better.

I believe this has saved my dog!
My Bernese mountain dog was having a hard time getting around and wouldn’t eat. Since starting him on these chews, he has been eating better and moving better. I thought he was nearing the end, but this has helped him tremendously. Oh and he is going to be 12 in a few weeks! Thank you for selling this product!
